I still can't think right my mind is blurred.

Very nice thank you. I’ll have to keep an eye out for when it’s not sold out.

Congrats Tinkrbel

Is the red truck Lego also? If so I may try to find it for my wife.

Wow ya I can imagine. There is a couple houses a few streets from my daughters school who go all out. We always go watch their shows a few times a season.

I do t have any pictures yet. Outside is mostly done though. We need a couple more sets of net lights, something to go on the porch (would like to find some of those holiday light posts but they are so expensive) and one more inflatable (wife loves those things). I also would like to find a few big outdoor wreaths to put around the lights on the garage but bows may just do.

Very nice. We have 3 tress right now (well 5 but two are tiny and in bedrooms). Inside is mostly decorated. We just about finished it today so tomorrow will be outside. I just the coach lights red and green and the big outdoor ribbons on the 3 garage ones. Tomorrow I need to get all the lights out and the inflatables all up.

Very nice. My wife would love your house.

Very nice. Next year I’m expecting you to be competing with the Griswald’s.

Soon it will be Christmas.

So let’s see everyone’s Christmas decoration inside and out. We only have the inside mostly done. Had out of town guests all last week and then it got cold so we didn’t get to the outside yet. Will probably do that this Saturday.

Didn’t buy a ton. Spent under $200 today. Some of it is stuff we needed for the house (bath mats, towels, wash clothes). I got a movie for myself Top Gun Maverick, got a movie for our daughter. Some perfume sets for the girls and a game. Like I said not a ton. Just nothing fabulous we had to get.

Too many sales that aren’t really sales. I’ve seen more than a few items marked up to prices I’ve never actually seen them sell at then get a discount to still make it not such a great deal.

I think things would go back to how they were if we would stop this month+ long sales garbage and actually have some good deals. Sad it's gone downhill. We may go to a store or two just because we always have but nothing we really need.

Sweet thank you

You could look at something like Holiday Coro, they are pricier BUT they are a LOT better quality. Normally after the New Year they do a big sale, if you sign up for their newsletter they will let you know when the sale is. You will need a controller for their stuff as the good stuff is all pixel based so you can control each light on it's own. I'm going to use some of their stuff to build our next big light display.

Is your soffit metal or wood? If you're going to put something like this up you could always use the u clips that have a screw on either side. This will really help hold it all where it needs to be. Even if the u clip is a little too big you can use some clear rubber in it to build it up. I've seen the clips in clear many times also so you shouldn't really see them. I'm with you though I wouldn't trust 3M double sided tape to be a long term hold especially with the rain and humidity in FL.

I just think in general even for things that people want the prices just aren’t great. I saw a few deals here and there but I don’t see anything that I’m like oh wow that’s such a good deal I think I’m going to get it. In years past I’ve seen those types of deals. I guess a lot of it boils down to prices of everything just being so high right now.

I mean I see few deals here and there that look OK but nothing jumps out at me as being a really good deal.

Got to love some Cards Against Humanity for a fun holiday game.

Target is out

Much appreciated. Makes my IT brain hurt lol

Too much mathing lol

FOMO
